KMB Fare Saver is ready at Queen's Hill Bus Terminus
From 8 January 2023 (Sunday), a KMB Fare Saver kiosk will be installed at Queen's Hill Bus Terminus. The KMB Fare Saver Scheme covers the entire Queen's Hill network, along with the existing Fare Saver kiosk at Shan Lai Court, allowing residents to enjoy KMB bus services at discounted fares. Passengers with Adult or Student Octopus cards can enjoy a $1 fare discount when they ride on KMB buses by tapping the card at the Fare Saver kiosks.
Besides the KMB Fare Saver Scheme, some Queen's Hill bus routes also provide interchange concessions, including the interchange between Routes 78A and 78B and other 27 KMB routes via Fanling Station Bus-bus Interchange (BBI). Passengers who take Route 278A can interchange with other KMB routes to Yau Tsim Mong, East Kowloon, and Hong Kong Island through Fanling Highway BBI or to Mei Foo, Kwai Chung, and Tsing Yi at Shing Mun Tunnels BBI.
KMB also collaborates with MTRC to provide interchange concessions. Passengers with Octopus cards taking Route 78A [Queen's Hill – Fanling Station (Circular)] and entering the gate at MTR Fanling Station within 90 minutes, or taking Route 78A within 90 minutes after departing from MTR Fanling Station, may enjoy a $1 discount on their second trip.
In other words, passengers can save up to $3 by first departing from Queen's Hill or Shan Lai Court, tapping their Octopus cards at the Fare Saver kiosks , and using the same card travelling on Route 78A to enjoy a $1 discount. Then, they can enjoy the $1 Bus-Rail Interchange concession when entering MTR Fanling Station. When passengers exit from MTR Fanling Station and interchange to Route 78A departing for Queen's Hill area on the return trip, they can enjoy another $1 fare reduction.
